Alex Bregman Sitting For Second Game Of Tuesday’s Doubleheader
Alex Bregman is sitting for the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader after returning to the lineup from a stint on the injured list in Game 1. Bregman had been scheduled to sit in Game 2 and is available to pinch hit, so there’s no cause for concern as the Astros are simply easing him back into the lineup after he missed more than two weeks with a hamstring injury. Bregman had posted a solid, if underwhelming, .874 OPS through his first 24 games this season, and fantasy players should expect the 24-year-old to post an OPS above .850 for the rest of the season.

Alex Bregman Homers In Loss To Seattle
Alex Bregman had a productive day in a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Bregman went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and two RBI but it wasn't quite enough in the close loss to Seattle. The veteran infielder hit a solo homer off Seattle starter Bryan Woo in the first inning and later added an RBI single in the third inning. Bregman is off to a hot start for the Red Sox this season, hitting .320 with five homers, 17 runs, 21 RBI, and one steal. He will look to stay hot as the Red Sox begin a weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians.

Alex Bregman Back From Paternity Leave
Alex Bregman has been activated from the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox have designated right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer. Bregman is slated to cover the hot corner and bat third on Friday evening. The 31-year-old was held out of the starting nine for just one contest. Over his last six games, Bregman has enjoyed an impressive offensive surge, as he has posted a .391/.462/.739 line with two doubles and two long balls. Under the hood, he has generated a solid .343 xwOBA while posting an elite 13.6 percent whiff rate. Bregman is worth a look in DFS facing Chicago southpaw Martin Perez as he looks to stay hot at the plate.

Red Sox Place Alex Bregman On Paternity List
Alex Bregman on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled infielder/outfielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Bregman put on a show in Tuesday's win over the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four RBI and two runs scored, but now he'll miss the series finale in Tampa and potentially the entire weekend series against the Chicago White Sox. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star has so far enjoyed his time in Beantown, as he's slashing .321/.365/.564 with a .929 OPS, four home runs, a league-high seven doubles, a league-high 25 hits, 16 RBI, a stolen base and 10 runs scored in a league-high 78 at-bats. With Bregman out of the lineup on Thursday against the Rays, Romy Gonzalez will fill in at the hot corner and bat fifth against right-hander Zack Littell.

Alex Bregman Collects Five Hits, Four RBI Tuesday
Alex Bregman had an excellent game before heading for paternity leave in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rays. Bregman went 5-for-5 with two singles, a double, a pair of solo home runs, and four RBI. The 31-year-old lined a third-inning Ryan Pepiot pitch over the right-field wall and later took Hunter Bigge deep to right-center field in the seventh inning. Bregman has had a stellar start to his Red Sox tenure after signing a three-year, $120 million deal this offseason, slashing .321/.365/.564 with four HR, 16 RBI, and a stolen base in 85 plate appearances. The Red Sox's offense has been erratic overall, but Bregman should have plenty of opportunities to provide fantasy value while hitting third in the lineup.
